One of the most widely known works in a literature which gained tremendous popularity during the Middle Ages, The Book of Secrets (generally attributed to the thirteenth-century philosopher Albertus Magnus) explores the mysterious properties, real or imagined, of beasts, herbs, stones, and the human body. Presenting an other world of information on how to cast spells and mix potions, this fascinating volume speaks to our age as we experience a renaissance of interest in the occult. Compiled in Latin near the end of the thirteenth century and translated into all major European languages, the book first appeared in English around 1550 and was subsequently reprinted many times over the next ninety years. Even today, practitioners and students of the occult, as well as general readers, will delight in the marvelous treasures hidden in this classic work.
